Recast vs legitimate doll comparisons, and random doll-related tutorials.
I am anti-recast, pro-owner. I will never bully or harass anyone, but I'm choosing not to support recasts any longer. This blog contains comparisons and information for helping to identify recasts sold on the secondhand market.

NOTE:

I do not make, sell, or traffic in bootleg/recast dolls or any other product.

I do not provide information on where or how to buy them.

Any recast information on this blog is for information purposes only, for identifying recast products on the second hand market.

A Short Review: Vings Eyes

Unedited Vings in my kitchen they day they arrived! <3

Let me preface this with the fact I completely forgot to write this post last
year. I even looked to see if I could find an older draft, and nothing. That
said, I won't be able to get into details about arrival times and stuff because
it's been so long. I'm also not sure exactly which shade of green I ordered either. I know they were about 18mm and teal.

Around the time I ordered, Vings was having issue after
issue. A lot seemed like they were just making stuff up, but for you dear
readers, I elected not to get a refund and waited something like 6-8 months?
for them to arrive so I could review them for you.

We ordered from their taobao to save a little money (the pricing difference on
the large eyes was enough we decided to go with that instead of their direct
site). I believe my eyes were approximately $60 + shipping. I paid more than
average because I had to get giant eyes because Soony has giant eyes.

Anyone who has been following my posts and photography will
have seen them, as Junko generally wears them.

These eyes are gorgeous. They are my favorite urethane eyes that I own. The
color is crisp, bright, and very accurate to their sample photo. They are even
with no bubbling, irises and pupils are the same size.

The catch the light in an absolutely magical way, and rarely require any
editing at all, unless it's in low-light conditions.

Vings are definitely worth the money. They've aged well in the year or two that
I've had them, as in, no noticeableyellowing or anything as I've heard urethane eyes can do overtime, just
like the dolls themselves.

So basically, if you're on the fence about them, get them.

Here are some pics for you so you can judge yourself.
I've noted where I've used editing and to what extent.
